VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
Your TOP 3 MUST-HAVE wedding moments in your video
(*Disclaimer: I will try my best to capture this. It is recommended that if you want this shot, that I be present before you begin. It is your responsibility to come find me before you begin an event that you find important for me to capture as I may be in another part of the venue capturing other events.)

I have a license at soundstripe.com, which is a licensing music site. Please browse the music and choose 3-5 songs that could potentially be used in your highlight wedding video.
(I know it's a ton of music to sift through. If you prefer, we can choose the appropriate song to highlight the day. If you prefer us to chose, just type "please choose for me"

Do you prefer a "fly on the wall" approach or for me to be directive/"Get involved" during filming on your wedding day?
("fly on the wall" means that I will be filming completely candid. I will ask that you not look into my camera and that I capture the wedding day as authentically as possible. Being directive will allow me to ask you to do certain poses and shots strictly for the aesthetic of the wedding video.)
—Please choose an option—Fly on the wallGet involved
What is going to make your wedding, your wedding? What have you decided to include that just says YOU all over the tin. (If you have special nods to you as a couple, I will do my best to capture them)

What vibes do you align with the most when it comes to your wedding video/personalities?!
Option 1: Slow, Romantic, EPIC
Option 2: Fast paced and FUN!
Option 3: Cinematic (simple storytelling that's both slow and fast)
Option 4: I wanna talk to you about what I'm thinking!

Will you be writing your own vows?
YesNo
AUDIO
Audio is an extremely important aspect of your wedding video. It is what makes your video go from amateur to professional. To receive the best video quality imaginable, I highly recommend that you allow us to mic the groom on your wedding day or the person who is wearing a suit with pockets. It will be tucked away in the inner pocket of the jacket and only the head of the microphone will be visible on the lapel of the jacket until removed.
Reminder: We cannot photoshop the microphone out of the video. This is just a natural audio set-up of first looks and ceremony, but we assure you that it is a very small device and will not ruin the aesthetics of your outfits.
Please let us know if you have any further questions on our call!
Can I mic the groom for the ceremony?
YesNo
Thank you for completing this questionnaire. It’ll make sure we are on the same page about everything!
Please feel free to text or email me to set this up. I look forward to your wedding day!
